A NEW HOME ON THE ATLANTIC COAST PAYS RESPECT TO THE PAST WITH THE PERMANENCE TO CARRY ON
Kiawah Island. The name alone has a certain allure and Kiawah Island, South Carolina, certainly enchants. Pristine white sand beaches stretch for miles along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean, rivaled only by the views from nearly every vantage point. Palmetto trees and lush vegetation create a welcoming natural habitat for wildlife, including hundreds of bird species.
Yet this isn't a tropical island paradise. Located about 30 miles southwest of Charleston, the barrier island is steeped in Southern charm and Low Country intrigue, with luxury homes and championship golf courses rising against a backdrop of river tidelands, marshes, maritime forests, and the ocean.
Architect D. Stanley Dixon and interior designer Beth Webb, both based in Atlanta, knew such a magical location called for an extra-special home for a couple building a legacy property for their children, grandchildren, and subsequent generations. "We wanted the house to feel timeless-like an old manor house on the ocean that has weathered many storms and gotten better over the years," Dixon says.
For the most part, Dixon and Webb eschewed typical island-or Hamptons or Nantucket-style for features and furnishings that lend classic elegance with the relaxed ambience expected of a getaway home.
